Comic Block is a subscription box that I can't seem to shake. I've probably cancelled and resubscribed like 3 or 4 times by now. Every time I get the shipping email, I want to cancel to save money - and then I get the box and realize how awesome it is and resubscribe again!

"Two giant science fiction franchises collide! Follow the crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise on their latest mission: joining forces with the Green Lantern Corps on a cosmos-spanning adventure!"

I love getting exclusive variant covers! It just ups the value of the comic book and seems like such a treat. I didn't know that there was going to be a crossover series like this but it sounds really interesting! I'm not a huge Star Trek fan but I like the Green Lantern and crossovers are always fun so I think I'll enjoy this!

"Sometimes writer's block can really mess up your day, and come at the worst possible time. One man finds himself at a loss for words while trying to pen a suicide note, so he decides to walk it off. Little does he expect this walk would change his life forever!

This looks very interesting. Judging by the cover, it looks to be a weird story.

Dark Horse Comics - Negative Space #1 - $3.99

Marvel Comics - Star Wars: Lando #1 - $3.99

"Lando Calrissian is arguably the coolest scoundrel in the Star Wars galaxy, so it's no surprise he's getting his own comic series. Learn what he was up to before making it big as the administrator of Cloud City."

While I don't agree that Lando is cooler than Han - I'm really excited to get his backstory! I think it's great that Marvel is giving Lando his own series.

I can't find this coaster anywhere online, so I'm assuming this is an exclusive item for Comic Block subscribers? I am estimating the price because most coasters I could find came in packs of 4 and we only received one. There is also a layer of cork on the bottom of this coaster to prevent drinks from sliding around. I actually like this and I'm thinking about bring it to work. I love Iron Man so any reference is okay with me!

[EXCLUSIVE?] Arc Reactor Coaster - $2.00?

[EXCLUSIVE] Ant-Man T-shirt - $19.99

I love this! I still haven't seen Ant-Man yet but I love the comics I've read so far and I love Paul Rudd (so the movie will be awesome, obviously) so I'm all for wearing this. I really like the design and the card that comes in the box listing the items titled this shirt - "A T-Shirt for Ants" which instantly made me think of Zoolander so that was fun! Just like I love getting variant comic book covers, I love getting exclusive T-shirts because then when you see someone else with this same shirt, you know you already have something in common. I saw a lot of exclusive T-shirts from Loot Crate and Nerd Block at Denver Comic Con and it was always an automatic conversation starter.

Yet another great Comic Block! I had cancelled my subscription while this box was still shipping to me and I immediately subscribed again when I got it! Another incentive was the free Welcome Block, with a retail value of $20.00, that comes with any new Nerd Block subscription (any of their various blocks will automatically include the welcome block in your cart).

Head over to www.comicblock.com to sign up now! You still have a few days to get August's block! Each box is $19.99 plus shipping. NOTE: If you use a promo code on a new subscription, the Welcome Block will be taken out of your cart - but if you'd prefer a 10% discount, be sure to use the promo code 'SUPERHERO'.
